Ok I currently have no mouse, Dont tell me how cheap they are and to buy one. I have no money. I am using my Xbox controller as a Mouse, My only problem is that some programs wont allow me to use it while they are up, the mouse wont move. is there any way to make it work? Is there a better program to use that will work?

I'm sure you have $5 in loose change lying around the house.

Actually, not really. I seriously have absolutely no money, I found about 75 cents in my couch. I dont deal much in physical money, its mostly my debit and checks.

Actually including the overdraft fee as a result of thinking there was money in there it is -34 dollars. Why, when I said not do, does everyone have to be all like "Hurpa Durp, you have money laying around buy one!"? Seriously, thats annoying.

trade your 360 controller on craigslist for a mouse

You can also try this autohotkey script: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic45062.html

If that one doesn't work, here is a more general one:

ITT: Once again proving: when in doubt, AHK out

Also: with enough discipline and time, you can do pretty much everything with just the keyboard. There's been multiple times where I've been in situations where I am working on a computer and only using the keyboard to do stuff.

Mouse keys has saved me several times. Doesn't solve the controller problem, but it'll give you the same result. I think.
